Everyone's favourite wild-child, Lindsay Lohan, also went on a string of dates with Danny when he split from Big Breakfast's Kelly Brook in 2010.

He explained: "I met Lindsay in LA and we have been friends for a long time. She’s obviously been through a lot of bad things but she’s a really sweet girl."

WILD-CHILD: Danny Cipriani also briefly dated Lindsy Lohan

Danny believes that his bad-boy reputation – caused by being linked to so many different women – is is biggest hurdle to overcome.

"Rightly or wrongly my image has been my biggest obstacle and I have done some things that have added fuel to the fire. I have not done it with a sinister mindset.

"I’ve spent a lot of time trying to understand life. Going through your twenties is a confusing part of growing up. There are times when you think the world is against you whether you’re a sportsman or not.

"I was having to do it in the spotlight and there were times it was confusing. But as you get older it gets better."
